Explanation
1. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services agreement with Stantec Consulting Services for the Land Stewardship Update Project, Capital Improvements Project No. 690557-100000, Division of Water Contract No. 2147.
The Department desires a program for managing City-owned property adjacent to the drinking water sources of Hoover, O’Shaughnessy, and Griggs Reservoirs. This project will create a detailed and complete manual for a revised “land stewardship program” to protect the environmental integrity of the City’s properties along the reservoirs’ shorelines and the drinking water supplies, while addressing the City’s willingness to allow adjacent property owners to perform stewardship activities on city property.
Under Phase 1 (original agreement), a preliminary assessment study and draft design standards and sunset guidance document services were performed.
Under Phase 2 (Renewal No. 1) detailed eligibility determination and updated program implementation services for all city-owned reservoir property was performed.
Modification No. 2 (current) is needed to provide a change to the scope of services for Renewal No. 1 at no additional contract cost. It will authorize the development and hosting of an external website to support and effectively communicate the rollout of the updated land stewardship program.
FUTURE RENEWAL: The Division may need to enter into a future Renewal (No. 3) which could include services to address more complex concepts that may develop or be discovered during the initial two phases of this project, and unexpected situations requiring unique solutions or plans.
See “Ord #2593-2020 Information” for a more detailed description of all phases.
The Community Planning Area for this project is “99 - Citywide” since the project covers several communities.
